[SOLVED] Almost 10GHz GDDR5 overclock Safe? Silicon lottery?

[Jimboss99]

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a: MSI GTX 1060 6gb Gaming X PLUS Graphics card
I know that as this is the PLUS version, the memory runs at a default speed of 9000MHz.

So I played around with overclocking and managed a stable +350MHz on the memory resulting in a 9700MHz memory frequency.
I could maybe go higher on the overclock and I did manage to reach 10GHz for a few seconds but I don't want to damage anything on the card.
Is 10GHz safe for the GDDR5 memory? Would it overheat or degrade?

Any opinions appreciated!

10ghz should be more then fine, you didn't adjust voltages so there isn't even a chance of breaking it. Enjoy your fast gpu!

I'd be leery of running more than 4-6% over what MSI has spec'd as their target mem clocks...
